Iran threatens to annihilate US economy

The "oil" is a temporary commodity as we all know. The country whose currency we deal the commodity of the day with is the winner. All of this talk
about the U.S. invading Iraq for oil is silly. We invaded to take out Saddam and his ambitions to change the OPEC trading currency to the euro.
Look deeper...

main reason: imaginary WMDS ( what WMDs )

everything points to OIL

Maybe you should say "Main stated reason.
I never believed most of the hype. Did you?

I am looking...and paying.
My energy bills have done nothing but go up since this started. The dollar has done nothing but go down. The stock market ate 60% of my retirement
fund when the net bubble burst.
I really want to hear how I am subjugating a true follower of Islam.
I didn't vote for any of these people. I also don't beleive in or support any religious group.
Why am I an Infadel?
Why should I die?

This has nothing to do with switching off the oil supply. This has to do with switching the currency that is used to purchase oil.

Saddam upset U'S because he started selling oil for euro's. You can bet your bottom dollar that topic is going to be seriously looked at in the next
opec meeting.

Open your eyes. Look at the big picture. Countries like Russia, China and Japan are sick of proping up the value of U'S dollar by investment. Now
they seem to be buying into the Euro and just look at how much the greenbacks value has dropped.

The U'S is being squeezed from all angles now. Hold on to your hats because it's going to be a wild ride.

When oil prices reach a given level, oil exploration and drilling in the US will resume. We may pay more at the pump, but the domestic oil industry
will pump billions of dollars into the economy, instead of sending all that money to abroad, whomever she is.

Well, Iran doesn't control OPEC. They can cut their production if they want, it just means less revenues for them. The US sources most of it's
imports from Canada and Mexico anyway, less than 1/5 of imports come from the gulf, and that is almost entirely from SA.

Saudis to soothe oil fears with 37% production boost

In comments seen as calming fears over a repeat of an oil-recession, Ali al-Naimi unveiled plans to increase Saudi production capacity by as much as
37 per cent. He played down concern that Opec, the producers' cartel that is dominated by the Saudi Arabians, would cut production next month, saying
the oil market was "in balance".

He declined to reveal what Opec would do at its meeting on 10 December. Countries such as Iran have been pushing for a cut in output quotas. But Mr
Naimi said: "The market today is in balance. I think supply is a little bit ahead of demand, and inventories are building comfortably."

Mr Naimi said Saudi Arabia had drawn up plans to increase productive capacity from 11 million barrels a day to 12.5 million. "This demonstrates our
desire ... to maintain a reasonable spare capacity of no less than 1.5 million barrels," he told the audience of economists, politicians and
journalists. His comments came as oil prices rose sharply after a gas leak at a Norwegian North Sea oil platform disrupted production. London Brent
crude jumped more than $1 to $45.75.

Well, Iran doesn't control OPEC. They can cut their production if they want, it just means less revenues for them. The US sources most of it's
imports from Canada and Mexico anyway, less than 1/5 of imports come from the gulf, and that is almost entirely from SA.

Sorry for my ignorance but I just read the article and can some one please point out where the Iranians threaten the US? I think I might have missed
that part. From what I undrestood it said "Iranian crude was effectively trading at $18 beneath benchmark U.S. crude's $49 a barrel." and this is
the reason why they want to sell less. I dont see how this is a threat to the US.

Start with Saudi and each and every Muslim nation should be exterminated. Neutron Bombs would be best. Leave the oil production for us to use.

You are a disgusting stupid pig.

Threads on this site rant about wanting the death of an american president almost daily. The days of "go along and get along" are gone. This is a
WAR of survival of the species. Us or THEM.....period. The sooner you learn this the better your chances of survival. Muslims worship SATAN. They
may not know it, but they do. Allah is SATAN. Allah was a "moon" god in mohamed's day. Good vs EVIL. Iran is EVIL

[edit on 29-11-2004 by DrHoracid]

Allah is the god Abraham showed worship to, which in turn is the same god you worship, just becouse they use the moon as a symbol does not meen its
false. By you even saying such things makes you a heretic in your own religon.

Allah is also a word that is more "pure" than the word god, unlike god Allah can not made to have a gender, plural, or have anything before it (like
Demi-god).

I suggest you use something called a brain (yes you might have one) before typing such non-sense, and it even says in your book not to kill, to love
thy neighbour, and not to prosecute people for their religouse belife becouse when they die the truth will be presented to them and is they wish to
deny it they will be sent to hell.

I also think you should research a little bit of satan, due to the fact that satan is not an actual Entity of sorts, you see Lucifer (satans name) is
not a Hebrew name (the context of the original bible), the real name was one of a king (forget from where) who was a pedophile,rapist ect. This being
said it almost makes the point that the devil is in all of us (if we let it be) and to be strong enough not to turn out that way.
